Abstract (en)
During operation, an access point may determine, based at least in part on communication with the electronic device, that an electronic device is in a communication performance category. In response, the access point may provide one or more requests to one or more neighboring access points of the access point, where a given request is for an assessment of communication performance of the electronic device from a perspective of a given neighboring access point. Next, the access point may receive one or more reports associated with one or more neighboring access points with one or more assessments of the communication performance of the electronic device. When the one or more assessments indicate that superior communication performance is unavailable, the access point may provide a notification to a computer that indicates that the electronic device is in a coverage hole in a WLAN.
